As pet owners, we all want the best for our beloved feline friends. This includes providing them with nutritious and delicious treats that will not only satisfy their taste buds but also contribute to their overall health and well-being. While store-bought cat treats may seem convenient, they often contain preservatives, artificial flavors, and fillers that can be harmful to your cat's health in the long run.
That is why making your own homemade cat treats is a great alternative. Not only do you have full control over the ingredients used, but it also allows you to cater to any specific dietary needs or preferences your cat may have. Plus, it can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your furry friend.
With this recipe, we will guide you through the basics of making homemade cat treats – from essential ingredients to equipment needed and some helpful tips along the way.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR Homemade Tuna and Cheese Cat Treats
● 1 – 5 oz. can of tuna in water, drained
● ½ cup all-purpose flour
● ½ cup whole wheat flour
● 1 egg
● 1 tablespoon coconut oil
● 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (we used mozzarella)
● 1 Rectangle Break Apart Candy Mold* from Hobby Lobby (you can use any mold, or roll them into small balls)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR Homemade Tuna and Cheese Cat Treats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Tear off a piece of parchment slightly larger than the candy mold and set aside.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Remove dough from the food processor and knead until smooth. Roll out into a rectangle.
Place the candy mold on top of the dough and flip it over. Roll over the dough with the rolling pin so the dough will get into the cavities of the mold.
Flip it back over and lift the mold off the dough. Trim the excess and bake for 30 minutes or until firm.
Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container.
*If using this mold, the recipe will make 90 treats when using all the dough.
